403 Icebreaker!
Borussia Dortmund are mentally prepared to come to Calderon Stadium to play a tough battle.
Starting the game with a tempo and a targeted attack on the left, it would have met the best expectations if they could score a goal, and even if they didn't, they would still maintain the attacking intensity to put pressure on Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid looked for a counter-attacking opportunity and finally had a shot in front of the pitch in the 11th minute, Villa's long-range shot seemed to test Weidenfeller's concentration and focus, and the shot was angled but lacking power, and Weidenfeller moved and made a smooth save to take the ball out of the air.
Borussia Dortmund's fast break once again hit Atletico Madrid's defensive zone.
Juan Fran can't help but Tang Hong is already the first impression of the audience, and it is very profound.
But he's going to have to make some defensive adjustments to improve his defensive quality.
It's not a good sign to always be blown off the defense line by Tang Hong.
When Schmelzer sent the ball straight to the edge of the field again, Tang Hong noticed that Juanfran stepped forward to press forward and try to interfere with his possession before he could touch the ball.
Tang Hong immediately had a countermeasure, and took the initiative to respond to the ball and quickly turned around the outside line and rushed towards the bottom line.
Mkhitaryan took the initiative to run to meet the ball and stick to the ground when he responded, and the two hit the wall and crossed and cut very tacitly.
Juan's early rush made him stop sharply, and when he turned to pursue, the starting position was thrown away by Tang Hong a certain distance.
The trip is a bit of an explosive mentality, less than 15 minutes into the game, but he has been broken through or got rid of Tang Hong three times!
Tang Hong once again slotted the ball from the outside of the box into the box, this time knocking the ball back diagonally before he could meet Godin.
Lewandowski took the initiative to answer and shoot directly with his feet!
As soon as he shot, Gabi retreated into the box to block his shot, and Lewandowski's shot was just blocked by Gabi's raised right leg.
Tang Hong ran to take a corner kick and raced against time.
In the 16th minute, Atletico Madrid's long pass from the back instigated a counter-attack, and Diego Costa won in a battle with Hummels for a header, but his header was deflected off by Sven Bender.
Borussia Dortmund continued to instigate the attack up front, with Reus picking up on the right and quickly passing the ball down the middle.
Mkhitaryan retreated from possession of the ball and distanced himself to Gabi before knocking the ball diagonally back.
Gundogan sends in a through ball.
Tang Hong cut inside and encountered Thiago preemptively stuck the ball to control the ball and stopped, Juanfran followed the defense all the way and quickly forced the ball to grab, but Tang Hong stopped the ball and then connected to pull the ball and cut the action to complete the dodge again.
Before coming to the penalty area near the middle area, Tang Hong swung his right leg to shoot, Gabi returned to the defense from the side and back to stretch his leg to try to intercept, but Tang Hong's right foot pulled the ball and changed to a cross-cut, Pull-Back-V!
After cutting from behind Gabi, Tang Hong got up again to shoot!
The football flew straight to the near corner of the goal, Courtois saved to the limit but failed to touch the football, only to hear a bang, the football hit the right post and popped up and was cleared by Miranda out of the bottom line!
An exclamation echoed inside the Calderón Stadium!
"Tang Hong's shot was blocked by the post! Dortmund's luck is terrible!
Atletico Madrid's defence looks like they're in trouble, they can't limit Tang Hong's continued attacking threat, and at this point I think Atletico Madrid will increase their marking restrictions on Tang Hong.
Otherwise, it will be a matter of time before they concede the goal! ”
Simeone quickly made a gesture on the sidelines, and at this time, he didn't care if the counterattack could threaten or not, and put the fence wall in place first.
This is the style of Atletico Madrid in the past two years, whether you can win or not is secondary, anyway, first of all, Lao Tzu can't lose!
Can't concede a goal!
Jurgen Klopp was a bit sorry for the attack, and if the goal had come in, it would have been an ideal start.
However, now that Dortmund have made a threat that has made Atletico Madrid's heart tremble, the situation is also good for Dortmund.
The most fearful thing about fighting this kind of tough battle is that the pre-game tactical play cannot be threatened, and you can only find another way in the game, so there will be changes in the situation to make your side passive.
In the 22nd minute of the game, when Tang Hong controlled the ball again on the side of the front court, Raul Garcia, Juanfran and Thiago formed a wrap-around for Tang Hong.
Tang Hong took a step forward and pulled out the space to quickly knock the ball across the middle.
After the ball rolled to Mkhitaryan, he decisively knocked the ball back as Gabi was already close to him.
Gundogan stepped forward and quickly crossed the ball diagonally to the right in front of the penalty area.
As soon as Atletico Madrid strengthened the defense on Tang Hong's side, Dortmund decisively shifted the direction of attack, which shows that Dortmund is on the line as a whole, and every player has just the right observation and grasp of the situation.
This is exactly what is expected in their offensive tactics.
When Tang Hong's side plays an offensive advantage and forces Atletico Madrid's defensive center of gravity to tilt, then Reus and Lewandowski will have more chances.
Royce took the initiative to respond to Lewandowski in the right area in front of the penalty area, and cooperated with Lewandowski to hit the wall, twisted into the penalty area and shot with his feet!
The ball flew straight into the near corner of the net, but it was angled slightly and Courtois made a flying save to keep the ball out of the crossbar.
Call!
The Dortmund fans in the stadium let out another exclamation.
The scene is very thrilling.
Atletico Madrid were attacked by Borussia Dortmund from the start, and although they were not as capable of repeatedly producing shots in a short period of time as Dortmund were able to do so, Dortmund's attacking continuation and continued threat were well maintained.
With the midfield defence suppressed, Atletico Madrid's counter-attack played a bit badly.
In the 26th minute of the game, Diego Costa was controlled by Subotic in the front court, and he turned to the counter-attack and kicked Subotic directly to the ground.
Dortmund fans had already blasted at him from the stands.
The referee couldn't take it anymore and stopped the game and gave Diego Costa a yellow card, and then gave him a verbal warning.
Diego Costa is furious, but I'm afraid he'll have to rein in his movements.
Borussia Dortmund had several players who suffered a defeat against Diego Costa, but today they never showed the slightest sign of dissatisfaction or wasted time complaining, let alone talking to the referee.
They won't be fooled until they get ahead.
In the 31st minute of the game, Tang Hong once again possessed the ball in the front court and encountered an embattled situation, he knocked the ball back to Schmelzer, who transferred the ball to the right side with a long diagonal pass, Reus and Mkhitaryan combined with a short pass to penetrate Felipe Luiz's defense, from the outside of the ball into the penalty area Reuss faced Miranda to knock the ball diagonally back, and Gundogan on the periphery then sent a through ball.
Lewandowski shoots directly in the penalty area!
The moment he took the shot, Godin slid past and broke the ball off the line.
If Godin hadn't made a tackle to block it, I'm afraid this goal would have gone in!
Atletico Madrid also found that they were putting more troops into Tang Hong, which led to Atletico Madrid's obvious lack of strength in other areas!
Borussia Dortmund came back three minutes later, Schmelzer passed the half, this time Atletico Madrid directly blocked Tang Hong's receiving line in advance, so Schmelzer also moved the ball to the right in advance.
Piszczek moved forward from the right and Schmelzer did not continue to advance, but instead joined the midfield to assist in the defence.
Avoid too much space when being counter-attacked by Atletico Madrid.
Piszczek completed a triangle pass on the right side of the field with Mkhitaryan who took the initiative to pick up and Reus in front.
Cork and Gabi were going to assist Felipe Luis in sniping Royce, but they didn't expect Piszczek to cut inside early!
With a slight emptiness in the middle, Piszczek crossed the ball diagonally into the middle of the box.
Here, Lewandowski was on his back and Thiago immediately returned to the box to assist in the defence.
But at the moment when Thiago stretched out his leg to press, Lewandowski gently knocked the ball back diagonally.
Before Thiago turned around, Miranda and Godin's expressions suddenly changed slightly!
Because the Dortmund player who came from behind Thiago is Tang Hong!
Tang Hong stopped in the middle of the penalty area in front of the penalty area and cut into the penalty area, and Thiago was too late to intercept when he turned around!
Tang Hong made a gesture in front of Miranda and shot with his feet, the latter intercepted head-on and lowered the center of gravity, when Tang Hong landed and did not shoot, Miranda decisively grabbed it!
But Tang Hong stabbed the ball to Miranda's left side like a dragonfly.
After the ball is discarded, the forward insertion is activated.
Lewandowski took the initiative to run to receive Godin's interference, received Tang Hong's short pass and gently sent the diagonal stopper.
Tang Hong rushed past Miranda to meet the ball on the right side of the penalty area, looked at Courtois's position, and then decisively kicked the goal!
Courtois moved towards the near post and tried to block the near corner of the goal, but he was obviously not resolute enough, because he was afraid of Tang Hong hitting the far corner!
And this time, Tang Hong's explosive shot hit the near corner of the goal!
In the blink of an eye, the ball flew like a cannonball into the top right corner of the goal!
Courtois subconsciously raised his hand but didn't make a save at all, and the football had already spilled into the corner of the goal!
The Dortmund fans in the stands of the away team at the Calderón Stadium burst into cheer!
Atletico Madrid fans looked a little ugly.
Borussia Dortmund's goal will put the balance back in place.
Atletico Madrid sounds like home advantage, but in reality?
It was Borussia Dortmund who prevailed in the game.
Therefore, the situation in the next game may be a little unfavorable for Atletico Madrid.
Once Borussia Dortmund score another goal away from home, then Atletico Madrid will have to score two goals at home!
Tang Hong did not go to the sidelines to celebrate after the goal, and with a resolute expression, he and Lewandowski high-fived hard, and then trotted to the halfway field.
Royce also came to the road and slapped his hands hard.
No one has ever thought that Tang Hong is the spiritual leader of a team, but when the team needs heroes, he always stands up for it!
It's a superstar's ability and responsibility!
